Chapter 23
Chapter 23 Xia Lin: I’m really not kidding you
“It’s really straightforward to refuse, this will hurt our minister’s heart, right?”
Himejima Akeno froze for a moment, then laughed and joked.
“…”
Rias was a little surprised.
He didn’t seem to expect that Xia Lin would refuse so bluntly.
At least, in her expectation, Xia Lin should not refuse.
Shouldn’t a teenager at this age be full of yearning for these myths and magic?
If you send an invitation yourself, even if the other party does not agree on the spot, he should choose to consider it.
However, Xia Lin’s straightforward attitude really made Rias feel a little disappointed.
“I don’t think Rias is someone who gets hit so easily.”
Xia Lin smiled and shook her head.
“I’m not that vulnerable.”
Rias glanced at Himejima Akeno, then shook her head and said, “Just, I wonder, why did Xia Lin refuse so quickly?”
“Any reason?”
“I still want to hear why you refused.”
Rias insisted that she wanted to know, or to be more precise, why Xia Lin refused so succinctly and without delay.
Rias looked at Xia Lin’s face. At first, she thought that Xia Lin might be trying to escape.
But after a while, Rias was disappointed, and the other party seemed to really have no interest in joining them. ,
Rias said that she was not vulnerable, but she still felt very disappointed.
You know, when she invited the three of Koneko to be her family in the past, there were not so many twists and turns.
It’s just the previous sentence “Be my family”, “In the future, just live for me”, and similar words, and then everyone happily agreed and became a family.
But, how come Xia Lin can’t work here?
Rias was puzzled.
It seems that her previous cognition is often broken with Xia Lin.
It was like that last night.
It’s still the same today.
successive blows.
Hearing this, Xia Lin smiled indifferently, then rubbed the teacup with her fingers lightly, and sighed, “Rias, your invitation is too abrupt.”
“Let’s not say that the comments about Devil are all your own words. I have no basis to judge the truth of what you said. What’s more, I suddenly gave up my identity as a human and changed my race to be a Devil.”
Xia Lin said apologetically, “I really can’t do it.”
After hearing Xia Lin’s words, Rias nodded and said apologetically, “I didn’t think about it carefully. However, you can rest assured that I swear in Gremory’s name that what I said just now is not false, and there is nothing wrong with it. The ingredients of deception.”
Rias is very proud of her noble name, and being able to let her use the word Gremory shows her determination.
“Let’s not talk about true or false.”
Xia Lin shook his head with a smile, he naturally knew that what Rias said was true, but…
If Rias had invited him a few days ago before the system was loaded, Xia Lin would definitely say nothing and nodded in agreement.
But nowadays, Xia Lin doesn’t have any special thoughts about Rias’ invitation.
Now, Xia Lin just needs to find a suitable excuse to prevaricate the past.
Xia Lin suddenly laughed playfully, and in a relaxed tone, said jokingly: “Rias, you said that you were just talking, and you wanted me to join you, be your dependent, and work for you, It’s a little too sloppy.”
Hearing this, Rias’s face twitched involuntarily. She didn’t think that Xia Lin, who was very serious before, suddenly became frivolous, which made her feel uncomfortable all of a sudden.
“Ara Ara, so Xia Lin-kun wants benefits.”
Himejima Akeno opened her mouth with a chuckle.
“Take advantage of the fire.”
Toujou Koneko gave Xia Lin a disdainful look.
Xia Lin rolled her eyes, if you don’t know how to use idioms, don’t use them, okay?
However, Rias was not angry. Instead, she was very happy that Xia Lin could put forward such conditions. She said, “Compared with humans, Devil’s innate conditions are much better than humans.”
“Xia Lin, judging from your performance yesterday, your strength is probably at the level of Middle-class Devil.”
“If you can fuse Devil pieces and become my servant, the hidden potential in your body will also be pulled out. I don’t know if you will be able to reach the level of High-Class Devil by then, but your strength will definitely increase a lot. cut.”
For people like them, the improvement of strength is undoubtedly a very attractive condition.
Judging from Xia Lin’s words of ‘verifying strength’ last night, the improvement in strength should be attractive to him.
Hearing this, Xia Lin laughed without saying a word.
“Not only that.”
Himejima Akeno continued in a seductive tone from the side.
“Compared with humans, being a Devil has many advantages, just like the immortality that humans seek, and it can be easily achieved.”
“Even a Low-Class Devil has a lifespan of at least a thousand years, while a Middle-class Devil, High-Class Devil, and even an Ultimate-Class Devil have an infinite lifespan.”
Himejima Akeno walked to Xia Lin’s side, bent down gently, sighed like blue in Xia Lin’s ear, and said softly, “We already know that you have confessed everything to Koneko-chan and Rias.”
“…”
Xia Lin’s face twitched slightly, although he didn’t care much about this matter, but being exposed in public still made him feel embarrassed.
“This should have nothing to do with letting me join you.”
Xia Lin shook his head and said, the warm breath in his ear made him a little uncomfortable.
“If you become one of us, don’t you have a chance?”
Himejima Akeno’s words were like Devil’s temptation: “Maybe Koneko-chan and Rias will be moved by you?”
“I won’t give you a chance.”
Seeing the look in Xia Lin’s past, Toujou Koneko said coldly.
“Koneko-chan, don’t say that, anything is possible, maybe you will accept Xia Lin-kun at that time.”
Himejima Akeno smiled and said, “What do you think?”
Toujou Koneko snorted lightly, not wanting to talk to Himejima Akeno, but glanced at Xia Lin, then quickly looked away.
“Long life.”
“Increase in strength.”
“Maybe there are beauties for you to hug left and right?”
“Xia Lin, are you really not thinking about it?”
Himejima Akeno’s smiling face was full of temptation.
“You didn’t lie to me, did you?”
“Of course, if I lie to you, it won’t do any good, and I will be blamed by Rias.”
Hearing this, Xia Lin’s calm face finally shook, showing a longing look, and his eyes continued to linger on Rias, Himejima Akeno, and Toujou Koneko, with covetousness in their eyes.
Seeing this, Rias looked at Himejima Akeno with admiration, and couldn’t help but sigh that she was her best friend to deal with the little boy.
Now you should promise, right?
There was a smile on the corner of Rias’ mouth, looking at Xia Lin, waiting for his answer.
“But, sorry, I still refuse!”
Just the next moment, the longing on Xia Lin’s face was swept away, replaced by the indifference and determination before. *
